The pictures in the website never debited the actual villa we were provided. Over priced stay located in a high location, 20-30 min away from the city with a terrible road connected to the destination. Basic amenities like drinking water and sufficient Bath towels were not provided in the room, frequent power cuts, long time in restoring power. No proper rating for food and extra taxes are added to the rooms when booked in booking. Com. Not to forget, breakfast was the only thing to be appreciated. Never recommend this stay if you wanna have a really relaxed and romantic holiday.

In the month of December 2016 I had been to Ooty. This was a holiday trip. I booked my stay through online via Goibibo. The location of the hotel was centrally located. The appearance of the hotel was good. Interior was good. Parking facility was available. The service was on time. The front desk staff was friendly. There was no delay in check in and check out. The room interior design was good. All amenities were working. Food was good. Complimentary breakfast was available. Extra activities were not available.

This was the second time I stayed In Fortune Retreat. I called the manager on my way to Ooty and he made sure I get one of the unit. Fortune is in the heart of Ooty, still calm and peaceful as it is at higher altitude, there is a 2 km climb and you can easily drive . . The resort is spread over a stretch of approx a km and it resembles row houses. Each cottage has it's own garden with beautiful seasonal flowers, lawn, portico for parking. Rooms have wooden furnishing and every cottage has a maximum of 4 and minimum of 2 rooms with balconies towards the east. Furnishing is really good. Best part is the resort has no by pass lanes and has a dead end. A complete no-nonsense stay. It's so peaceful in the evenings that you may wish to meditate for some time. There is adequate space between 2 cottages that works like a firewall to conflate you from any disturbance by the fellow visitors. It's so strategically located that you will get a stunning view of the mountains towards the east. Lake and botanical garden are around 3 Km, Dodabetta the highest view point is close to 10 Km. The staff members are sweet and prompt. The food quality is really good and the service is fast. They serve both veg and non-veg north Indian and south Indian dishes. However, you also have a kitchen with each cottage which can be used upon request. I doubt if they serve liquor or not Also, I din't use the recreation room and I don't exactly know how it is. You can take a horse ride there. Take a nice walk. No swimming pool and all. Which is any ways fine. Both the times I got a very reasonable rate and a good discount as well. Hope it helps.
